This is, probably, a decent idea, but I have a question for Instagram, and Twitter for that matter. Look at the rationale for getting rid of “likes”: “”Testing a Change to How You See Likes – We want your followers to focus on what you share, not how many likes your posts get.

The article is directed at founders, but I think we can all see similar hours and stresses in the legal and eDiscovery industries, no? “Over 50 per cent of owners work nine hour-plus days and 43 per cent work weekends. But long hours don’t make you more effective: you’re wasting time spinning wheels because you’re too tired to think straight, and you risk burning out completely.” Amy goes on to talk a lot about what…

What numbers like this say to me is that far too many organizations have bought in to the value of “big data” with no thought as to how storing, protecting, and reviewing that data is going to get done. “Conducted by Rabin Research Company among senior in-house counsel at leading U.S. corporations, BDO’s 2019 Inside E-Discovery & Beyond Survey showed 78% of large organizations plan to spend more on e-discovery in the next year.

I’ve already talked on and on about how various governments expect to be able to require backdoors into encrypted data, including mobile devices. When it’s pointed out that any backdoor will eventually be used by hackers, the usual response from law enforcement is to “trust us” because they have some magic ability to prevent hackers from learning about their backdoors, or having anyone in their organization misuse that backdoor. As usual, a simple reading of…

Granted, I’m extrapolating a little bit. But, if you have listened to the latest Work Life podcast, at the very end you’ll hear Adam Grant suggest three things that help you remember something new. Take a 10 minute break to let it sink in Quiz yourself on it, to start recalling the information right away And, finally, explain it to someone else. Of those three, the last is the only one that requires someone…
